Kilchoman 2006 'Anticipation' 2 Year Old New Spirit #302 Opened in 2005, Kilchoman was the first new distillery to be built on Islay for 124 years. Its proprietors are the Wills family, and the distillery saw a return of the practice of “farm distilling” to the island, with its own barely fields, malt floors and kilns. Today around 25% of its barley requirement is self-fulfilled, and in 2011 they bottled their first 100% Islay release of single farm, single malt. The distillery’s first release came in 2009, and it has cemented a fine reputation ever since. This bottle of Kilchoman was produced before their first official single malt was released at 2 years old. This spirit was distilled on 23rd October 2006 and aged in single ex-Bourbon cask #302. It was bottled at cask strength on 28th November 2008.
